Pain, Anguish, Longing... Yes, the Blues

I'm so glad I didn't get rid of these blues cds years ago. Actually, I think I tried to sell them once, but they would only give me 1¢ a piece for them, so I just kept them.

John Lee Hooker, Etta James, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Little Milton, Little Walter, and more. All passionate performers.

I think somewhere along the line I started to think the blues would bring me down. It is something I have to be in the mood for, but looking into the blackness outside and hearing the wind roar, the aggressive strains feel just right.
